If some politician wants to propose a new “Manhattan Project” to protect us from future dangerous viruses, then devising widespread systems to deactivate the buggers with UV light, rather than the stupid masks and “social distancing”, might be a worthy goal.
I think I’d prefer to put the product of the original Manhattan Project to work attacking the problem at the source by vaporizing the CCP demons who produced and spread the current virus, but that’s just me.
I like the way you think. Go after CCP.
